withered prosperity

"Princess, why are you still staying in his room at such a late hour?" Mao Jiang said bitterly, "Lonely men and widows, what a big deal it is to spread the word!"

Murong Yu was lying on the horse's back, looking half dead.

"My lord, are you listening to me?"

"Maomao, your voice is so loud, my head hurts!" Murong Yu held her head and said in pain, "I'm dying..."

Maojiang had nothing to do with her, and he was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger on her, so he could only go forward with his horse's belly.

Just as Murong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, another horse ran beside him.

"Cousin Yu, I heard that you had a martial arts sparring with Mr. Xiao last night." Bai Yinuo looked curious: "Is his martial arts really evil?"

"What... wait." Murong Yu raised his head and asked suspiciously, "You know him?"

"Of course, in the first three or four years, he walked around Jiangdong and killed several powerful characters!" Bai Yinuo said enthusiastically, "I'm quite surprised that he would accept the thank you." I’m going to run this trip with my family’s work, after all, his ability to kill is much better than being a guard.”

"You can ask him yourself, and you can also ask his price, maybe when it will come in handy."

"This... Cousin, don't make fun of me, I'm a decent person, I'm just a little curious!" Bai Yinuo laughed dryly, and hurried away with an excuse.

Murong Yu rolled his eyes, turned his horse's head and got close to the carriage where Yan Hai was sitting.

"Yan Hai!" She knocked on the car window and asked softly, "Can I come in! My head hurts, can I take the carriage with you!"

"Murong Yu, what's wrong with you?"

Murong Yu turned her head and saw Chi Lian sitting on the horse, and the man in black riding a black horse beside Chi Lian.

Murong Yu hiccupped, and a smell of alcohol came out.

"Look at what you look like!" Chi Lian frowned.

"I said Chi Lian, just leave me alone, and..." Murong Yu scratched her hair, and the already untidy bun became even more messy. "Why are you acting weird right now? Every time I talk to you, I feel like talking to those people in the palace. I really panic."

"You hang out with servants all day long. If my aunt knows about it and sees you like this..."

"My mother doesn't care what I look like, it's enough for her to have Murong Ji." Murong Yu interrupted her irritably: "I can do whatever I like, I just like Yan Hai, what's wrong, I just want to marry him , what does it have to do with you?"

For a while, the atmosphere was a little stagnant, and the people around were all watching, pretending that they hadn't heard anything.

Chi Lian was so angry that his hands shook.

"Okay." Her eyes darkened: "You said that!"

Murong Yu watched her ride away on horseback, feeling a little annoyed in her heart, but she didn't regret it too much.

He was right, since Yin Chilian went to Qianqiu Mountain, his whole person has become eccentric, not to mention his affairs have nothing to do with her, it is really ridiculous to act like an elder scolding.

"Yan Hai." She knocked on the car window.

A long sigh came from the car.

"Princess." Yan Hai's voice came out, "Miss Chi Lian is right, if I damage your reputation, I really can't afford it."

"What are you afraid of?" Murong Yu laughed: "At worst, you can marry me and be the son-in-law of my county prince's mansion, isn't it great!"

Yan Hai lost his voice, obviously he didn't know what to say.

Murong Yu wanted to continue making fun of her, but suddenly she felt a chill down her spine.

She turned her head away, only then did she see that Xiao Xiao had not left with Chi Lian, and those dark eyes were staring at her without blinking.

"You..." She subconsciously felt that her neck was a little cold and aching, and she cleared her throat loudly to feel better.

Xiao held the rein of the horse with one hand, and the long sword that he never left his body with the other, and followed beside the carriage unhurriedly.

Murong Yu wanted to speak several times, but was forced back by invisible pressure from nowhere, and finally could only find an excuse in embarrassment, and left with her head drooping.

A corner of the car curtain was opened first, Yan Hai looked at the man in black who hadn't said a word the whole time, and said "Thank you" softly.

The other party didn't look sideways, as if they didn't realize it.

This whole day, Xiao hardly left the carriage, it seemed that Chi Lian told him to keep an eye on Murong Yu and Yan Hai.

Murong Yu was timid towards him, so Yan Hai lived a very peaceful day.

In the afternoon, Yan Hai simply rolled up the curtains of the car, so he could see the scenery outside the car, and he also looked at the person in the scenery by the way.

Sure enough, such a person with a straight back, a thin and straight waist, looks good in black and riding a horse... He was almost lying on the car window, staring straight at the person, but the one who was looked at seemed to feel completely However, neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere was appropriate.

"Princess, you have always been with that servant named Yan Hai these few days." Murong Yu, who was far behind at the moment, was stopped by Mao Jiang and asked, "Do you think this person is suspicious and did it on purpose?"

"Ah?" After eating, Murong Yu recovered a little bit of energy, and now she was looking over there. "Oh! Yes! Very suspicious!"

"But he is a man after all, and he is still a humble servant. There are a lot of people here. If word spreads, the county king..."

"Maomao, is it a bit strange that this owl appears here?" Murong Yu interrupted him: "Why did Xie Zhilan find such a master who is good at killing to protect Chi Lian? Isn't this very suspicious?"

"Xie Zhilan was sent to Hejian this time, and it must be a near-death situation. If there is any accident for Princess Chilian, the Xie family is really in trouble. They can't tolerate any mistakes now. This is to use all the team members. Time." Mao Jiang counted the pros and cons in detail: "If Princess Chilian arrives in Shangjing safely, she doesn't have to do anything, and many of the methods against Xie's family will be useless."

"Maomao, your hair has become thinner recently! If you lose your hair because of too much worry, how can I call you Maomao in the future!"

Maojiang's face sank like dirt.

"If you want me to tell you, how many good people are there in Xie's family, Bai family's Mu family, including Murong's family? It doesn't matter!" Murong Yu waved his hand at Yan Hai, who was watching from a distance: "But Murong Ji is not very good, but in the end It's my man, if this case can't be solved this time, someone will definitely get in the way, we probably have to go back to our hometown to farm, and he doesn't know how to farm at all...he won't, right!"

Mao Jiang shook his head stiffly.

"Then I can't go back to my hometown, and I still have to hang out in Shangjing." Murong Yu touched her neatly combed sideburns, and sighed: "I have worked really hard all these years!"

Mao Jiang turned his head to one side, and couldn't bear to look any longer.

"Nine times out of ten, this Yan Hai knows the inside story."

Maojiang had no choice but to turn his head back.

"You know, my feeling has never been wrong, there must be something wrong with him." She flicked the rein in her hand, with a face determined to win: "I will definitely find Bai Chunchun, Shangjing and even Princess Cheng from him. Just wait and see the clues to these murders!"

The "something wrong" Yan Hai felt unwell due to the wind blowing all afternoon, and even developed a high fever when he arrived at the place at night.

On the way Wei Heng came out of his room with the medicine box, he ran into several people asking for news.

In the end, even Cheng Wang "coincidentally" asked.

"His foundation is not very good, so he will easily fall ill when he is tired." Wei Heng said the same thing.

"Then Dr. Lao Wei will help him take a good look, so as not to delay the trip." Yin Yutang was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked, "I was in a hurry last time, and I didn't even have time to ask a question. Ask, where and when did Dr. Wei meet him?"
